Transcripts

for now um I'm just curious about yeah

what has been going on last week what

are we going to do this week do we need

help with

something then um an updates on your

worked hours I think that's good to just

yeah just mainly for visibility

sense

um discussion on the on the content and

then uh plan additional meetings for the

week if needed so if we expect that we

need need an additional meeting with the

client or

together uh because we have a deadline

or because we expect that something

important needs to be

discussed then we can plan it also

during this

meeting um so yeah I mean as far as uh

the meeting agenda I can start with the

script and the storyboard what I've

achieved uh last week was nothing but uh

I um I did something today I looked at

the the

storyboard and the the main content and

I made a start of a potential

scenario uh that I would like to discuss

with you I'm also curious what you

thought about my feedback last week um

this week I hope to really get pretty

far with the storyboard together uh

whoever takes the lead it's fine and

then um I don't need help with something

yet I think

yep that's

it

okay okay and uh about

um about which feedback you're talking

about but you send me a storyboard like

at least you send me a concept um yes

and uh I gave feedback on that quite

yeah extensively in a few

comments and after I gave that feedback

and sort of sim in my head and now I

feel like yeah I like that direction but

of course I want you to like it too and

uh yeah we can discuss

that okay yes yes but uh like um

that's

uh okay okay

if like we have like

three uh Concepts now and and yes I'm

aware that my uh second like concept is

not like fully mine uh it's inspired by

uh

your uh sample and uh it was done on

purpose so it's like to I don't know if

they liked this idea first time maybe

they will

like the same IDE idea not like uh one

in one but something similar second

time yeah no I get it like you could

like make it a continuation um but I

want to make this training feel very

distinct okay both of them actually so I

want to try to move away too much from

the story line and the style from last

year and really create something fresh

and new

um but uh yeah personally I was just

playing around I was also creating a

quick storyboard like a

draft and um I just wrote the

introduction but I like this idea of a

time traveler coming in at the end of

the

the what do you say the slides with like

okay here is the the big developments in

technology and how people how it

impacted people's lives I don't want to

frame it negative L I just want to frame

it in terms of the impact I think that's

what the client would

want uh and then uh oh there's another

big change happening AI how will that

impact and then at that moment we see

some kind of

portal coming in like with little

particles and someone jumps out of that

portal and is like what year is this you

know and and we go into and that that

will be your main instructor for the

course and uh yeah I think that to me

that sounds really fun but I'm I'm

biased because I love science fiction

and time travel and stuff like that yeah

um but I think it could provide a really

good

vehicle uh for the storyline at

least okay and uh do you want me to uh

like develop this

idea um well that depends we can discuss

that um what you want for

that uh I think

um my my impression of you right now is

that you're more comfortable with the

the

interactions so how we teach people

things um rather than the

storyline uh but I'm I'm happy either

way like if you want to work on the

storyline or the plot twist or some like

some movie like things happening is good

like um depends on

how uh how much time do you have and

what other tasks do you have

also um yeah so this week I think I have

quite a bit of

time not tomorrow tomorrow is my

brother's wedding the third time um

hopefully the last I think the last um

Cal

husband well it's it's the same woman

but um

yeah it's a whole story he converted to

Islam and uh yeah it's like first mared

for Islam then for family than for Dutch

government so

yeah

okay but um yeah Wednesday Thursday

Friday I have more time and uh as I said

this week I really want to

uh with the story board something

presentable for the client ideally and

if that's not possible then we can

finish it next week as

well uh but then I think in the week of

the 19th then um people can review

it so before that at least we should

have something that we feel strongly

about and um for me the level of of

um granularity that I want is that I

want to focus more on the exercises and

the main content rather than the

storyline because if they don't like the

time traveling storyline we'll need to

rewrite a lot and we've done a lot of

work um for nothing so I I prefer that

we focus on the content so the exercises

and and the main things that we're going

to put in which type of exercise you

know like okay this will be a Hotpot

image this will be um scenario this will

be something like that and then

afterwards we can put it in any kind of

concept I think

but and but for the for the story line I

just want to make the main plot twists

so the main story beats so that could be

like five bullets so the client kind of

knows like okay we start here then we go

here then we go here and then we end up

here so that they can feel excited about

that uh and when you you are talking

about about bullets do you mean like not

the

uh so so sorry are you talking about

like the story

or the content I mean so I'm talking

about two things yeah indeed so the

story what I want basically is the main

story beats so we're going to have

probably five chapters right like they

presented it okay maybe more maybe less

but in the end we're going to end up

probably somewhere what they present

because they like it and um uh within

that I want to reach a certain level of

granularity that we know like okay

exercise Here video here

um image here uh something like that and

then um just to really narrow down the

scope and the overall picture but for

the story I don't really want to write

the dialogue too much I don't really

want to write um the story too much

because yeah just a outline of course

but but just enough so that they can

feel excited so like as I I can show you

here I'm uh often I write the beginning

a bit

more like

this so I put some images and I put like

what I think it can look like you know

this is a bit Fallout and inspired this

is a bit over what inspired and then uh

I put some dialogue options so the they

know at least how it starts but after

this I want to just have like a story

beat okay so here the time traveling

machine doesn't work and we need AI we

need the learner to understand AI to fix

it or something or here it does work and

she's off but then a copy of her comes

back and suddenly we see two time

travelers in the screen and they're

interacting with each other and

something happens you know and in the

end everything is resolved and and we're

happy something like that and that's

enough so like basic story

outline but uh content more in

depth

okay and you are going to do it

right

uh it depends like I'm not sure I think

um

it's good if

you so that I can see how you do

it right and if it's good if I'm happy

then we go on to the script face um but

but if I do it I don't know like we'll

we'll need to figure out at the script

phase again like if it's good match for

this project

okay

um but yeah I'm also searching so it's

not clear exactly for me what's nice so

I'm also asking you what do you want

like how do you want to

proceed well I I just understand that

for example if I

have an idea if I would have an idea

then it would be very hard for other

person to please

me because uh I already have this idea I

have some details uh more or less of

course and as another person is unable

to read my

mind he will not make

that the the same that I imagine by by

myself I get it but I mean I'm not I'm

as far with the idea as I wrote it down

so I can send you what I wrote

down and

um uh

yeah if you feel like there's a better

idea then I'm very willing to go that

route as well uh if I if I think it

works for the client of course okay but

uh the client doesn't want anything like

futuristic well they don't want

futuristic for the for the AI right they

don't want the AI to appear

futuristic but the storyline can be

futuris IC

uhhuh so but we just need to make sure

that all the examples that we give all

the everything that happens in the

training should be here should be here

and now and it should not be futuristic

it should be really just about AI as it

is

today so

no AI speaking or something like that MH

okay but I understand are kind of

contradictory a bit but yeah but not

100% um so yeah uh I think my impression

of you what you can do really well

probably is look at all the content

everything they

provided and then um come up with the

main outline for the training so we're

going to put this exercise here we're

going to put this image here

this scenario here um and overall it

will be a really good training because

we cover everything that we need to

cover okay let's

try and um if you feel inspired by the

time travel thing you uh you involve it

you I like

the I like the

uh I don't know movie recent stories

about time traveling they always are

very

flowed they were flaw yeah always flaw

yeah

but I can manage myself to close my eyes

on these flows and everything just fine

yeah and well you know we can we can I

don't think we should make it too

complex it shouldn't distract Too Much

from the learning content but I think we

can put a few fun things in to like pull

the learner back into the excitement you

know like uh I don't know like I was

thinking that the time traveler goes

back halfway through so you basically

solve the mission halfway through the

training but then something else goes

wrong or something just to to make it a

bit unpredictable but let's see I I

think all of these things can be added

later uh I was also considering to give

the time traveler this sort of

mechanical orb this sort of futuristic

looking or that we can like use for

Holograms and basically that or can do

everything we wanted to if we want to

show

something but again it can be something

else can be a hologram watch or

something or

whatever or multiple things

um and yeah also in terms of

achievements we can figure that out I

said that we could do something with the

um the Hologram of the person that like

levels up throughout the training like

you level up you gain intelligence

because you learn more about AI but I'm

I'm thinking that might be too complex

so I'm still looking for a way

to to make that a bit simpler but yeah

we can see also if you have ideas

because that's always one of the most

important screens I think basically your

progression screen for the

training um

but uh we'll we'll come up with

something okay I need to think about

it yeah I'm sorry if I overwhelm you a

little bit no no no no no it's just

like thinking process is

started yeah yeah I think I mean if we

if we get away with this time travel

thing if they're like if they're okay

with it I'm super excited I think it

will be a lot of fun to work on this

um and if not we'll just come up with

something else that's

fun um but the the reason why I got the

ideas because you came up with that

historical progression in the

beginning

um yeah so I'll send you the the

storyboard that I was writing please

don't continue on the same note but use

it as input inspiration

we save the

link

um and then yeah basically I was

wondering if we can just also do the

standup like what have you done last

week what are you going to do and do you

need

help uh just

to have an

update do you mean your question what

did I

do yeah because I mean I'm not sure what

you're doing right I I don't know yeah

but you saw like

the I have reviewed the materials

and made this dog file that's all yeah

that's it yeah and uh what are you going

to do this week you think uh I will take

your uh draft let's say and my my

another

dog Yeah so basically I think what we

should be doing this week is we uh work

towards a storyboard yeah and um

yeah I think we are on the same line

when it comes to what a storyboard is

right

so all the main interactions that we we

have and again um it's okay for me if

you exactly use the outline as they

provide but if you see logically

thinking that they missed something or

we should add something or we should ask

something to them then please

incorporate that because personally I

think it may

not like I think for example that they

focus a lot on the the first

two like uh why is it important why what

is

it and then I think it's very little

about the application personally I like

to see that a bit uh

different then again they only made it

20 minutes so we have room to add stuff

I think

but let's just see whatever whatever we

think is

logical um yeah and then I'm not sure

when do you think you can uh present

like um a first version can you plan

that or do you want to plan for

that definitely I will send you

something

tomorrow okay not like ready piece but

something

that you will be able to confirm not not

confirm tomorrow I might not reply but I

will definitely do so on Wednesday

morning okay then Wednesday morning yeah

because yeah tomorrow

on the wed in yeah yeah um but then I'll

put that in my calendar to

reply

um and then I will not work on the

storyboard either until I um review your

thing on

Wednesday um I might work a little bit

more today on that storyboard that I

just sent you the link for just to think

about um the story beats see if I can

come up with a story and also you can

get feedback on that or maybe make your

own thing of it um but I want to about

it a little bit

more um yeah but I think that's a really

good setup that you now try to basically

scope the training and then um together

we look at it and then we see like what

I need to look at more or what you have

some trouble with

yeah and then I'll Reserve Thursday

to work on it

myself and then Wednesday I can um

because I'm still lacking behind you in

terms of research so maybe I can do that

on

Wednesday how was the research by the

way was it like um

good or doable or very

confusing

doable

yeah yeah it seemed um all very neat and

nice

pleas yeah okay do you want to plan a

meeting for later this week or you just

want

to let me send you and after that

we will

plan so uh yeah we'll be in touch uh

Wednesday morning then or at least Elon

do something W the

morning great uh anything else you want

to discuss uh no no no no no let me just

go and uh uh while my uh thoughts are uh

wondering on this topic uh

like to make some notes

right now and

uh and after after that of course I will

give you what you're going to send me if

you will send me a bit lat it's also

okay because uh I will be able to ponder

about this new

approach uh on my own and after that

combine my thoughts and what you will

send me so yeah sounds like this yeah

sounds good to me um and if you need

anything or if you want to bounce

anything off of me you know that you can

always reach me okay awesome thank you

very

much cool then yeah I'm excited I mean

so far this I think this is already

really fun I hope that uh CL thinks it

too all right man then good luck yeah
